Many thanks to everyone to is still supporting TROM financially - tromsite.com/donate/

We ask for 5€ donations if anyone can help, to distribute the financial burden and not rely on a few individuals. There are 83 people supporting us monthly. If anyone thinks this project is worth supporting please see the donation page and help. There we explain all what we do.

Thank you very much!

Thank you Ondine for becoming our new TROM supporter tromsite.com/donate/ - it is so motivating to see new people supporting TROM. Makes you want to put more effort into it, create new things, etc.!

If we get 12 more people to donate 5€ a month we can do these:

We will start a video series for TROM, similar to the books' content.
We will bring back TROMnews because the world needs a good news website.
We will increase the TROM Files storage space to 20GB for all.​

That would be fantastic!

We have to increase a bit the fundraiser due to some "sales taxes"... gofundme.com/f/yearly-fundrais…

Apparently we had to pay that too...

Thank you so much everyone! We are 83% there!

Yearly Fundraiser for our Backups - gofund.me/d96c58985

Hello friends,

We need to pay for our backups every year. We backup with borgbase.com all of our websites. Two servers, a total of around 3TB of data.

We backup:

- tromsite.com
- videoneat.com
- tromjaro.com
- trade-free.org
- directory.trade-free.org
- trom.tf - all of our services: Friendica, Peertube, Nextcloud, etc.

See all of our projects here tromsite.com/

Many thanks!

Thank you Jean for becoming our new 5€ a month supporter tromsite.com/donate/ !!

And thank you to everyone who supports TROM financially. We do a lot of projects. We provide a Friendica instance and have over a thousand users, a Peertube instance with unlimited uploads, a Nextcloud instance providing 10GB of space for everyone and a full Office Suite...a custom Linux distribution, a documentaries-based website...

See our donation page how many things we do. And we will do more!

#nextcloud #friendica #fediverse #peertube #fedi #selfhosting #foss #opensource

Our Friendica has been more stable for the past days. This is good. Maybe leftover database tasks from the recent update made our CPU work so hard. So far all is looking good.

#friendica #fedi #fediverse

We have 3 more supporters who donate 5€ a month. Thank you so much to Colin, John, and Kershaw! tromsite.com/donate/

We need 12 more people to start a new video series, bring back TROMnews, and increase the storage for our TROM Files (nextcloud) to 20GB for everyone.

Maybe we can make it happen. Would be fantastic!

#tromsite #nextcloud #fedi #fediverse #volunteer #campaign #trom #tromtf #foss #opensource

We will update our TROM Social tomorrow!

Be aware that some things may not work well for hours. And in case of failure it will take us some time to restore from a backup. Let's hope all will go well. And if you'd like to support what we do and pay for our servers, you can consider a donation here tromsite.com/donate/ . Is up to you, our services will always be trade-free regardless. Cheers! @Tio

We have a new subscriber to our 200 for TROM campaign - tromsite.com/donate/

Thank you Robert!

We need 200 people to donate 5€ a month to make our TROM Projects sustainable. We are almost half way there!

#foss #tromsite #opensource #volunteer #fediverse #fedi

Thank you to those who are helping TROM monthly! Our first goal is to reach 100 monthly donors to kickstart a new video series for TROM, bring back TROMnews and provide 20GB storage space for our Nextcloud install (TROM Files) for everyone.

We have a lot of projects and hundreds, if not thousands of people are using our services.

Everything we do is trade-free. No bullshit.

We need 17 more donors to reach our first goal. If you can help please see tromsite.com/donate/

Again thank you to everyone who has supported this project for so many years now!

#foss #opensource #tradefree #trade-free #trom #tromsite #volunteer #fedi #fediverse

Huge thanks to @Roma for donating 100 Euros towards our yearly backups campaign! Thank you so so much! we only need 90 more Euros to reach the goal :) See gofundme.com/f/paying-for-the-…

So that we can keep all of our websites backed-up!

Many thanks!

Thank you Charles and Jurgen for helping with our fundraiser! gofundme.com/f/paying-for-the-…

We need to pay for our yearly backups for all of our servers and files, that includes the files people store on any of our TROM.tf services.

So please, if you can help us a bit. We only need some 200 Euros for cover the bills.

Thanks!

#linux #opensource #fediverse #peertube #fedi #trom

We need to pay for the yearly backups for all of our services and content - gofundme.com/f/paying-for-the-…

This means all of our TROM.tf services (friendica, peertube, nextcloud, etc.), all of our websites like tromsite.com, videoneat.com, tromjaro.com, and so on.

We only need 230 Euros to cover another year of backups. Please if you can help out since we are underfunded and cannot afford to pay for them.

The payment is yearly. We need to pay by the end of this month (March).

Thanks a bunch!

On top of our custom themes now our Friendica (social.trom.tf) also has this BookFace theme for those who want a more "facebook" like experience in terms of looks.

So go to settings/display and choose your own theme.

Improvements for TROM.tf :

Our TROM Social first page (login) is not anymore just an empty page with a simple login, it provides you a peek into the fediverse:

Now you can see what's going on on the network, maybe to convince you to join :). It took a lot of CSS and HMTL gymnastics to achieve this. From my tests on desktop with mobile emulators all looks good on mobile, but for some reason when I check it on my phone it does not look as it should....I shall investigate.

Implemented some dark toggles for some of our services, where it was doable, such as Call

Search

Speed

And made our TROM Call, Jitsi Meet, more reliable.

Lastly we spent many days trying to figure out how to make our Peertube Live work better. Hours of tests, lots of logs. Hopefully we can make it more reliable.

@Tio

Thank you so much Eduard for becoming the 77th supporter of TROM! We run a unique fundraiser for TROM in that we need only 200 people to donate 5 Euros a month in order to support us for the long run.

Distributed support so that it won't put a big toll on anyone, and a limited goal so that we do not get rich.

If you appreciate the so many things that we do at TROM (see tromsite.com) then please consider supporting us.
